The FAU produces extensive briefings materials on a variety of issues including Advertising to children, Advertising and diet,The Role of the advertising industry, International comparisons on advertising food to children,The Regulatory Framework for Chilren's Advertising and What Parents and Adults think about Advertising to children. [2](http://www.fau.org.uk/html/briefing_papers.html)
The FAU claim that " advertising restrictions are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Government’s goal of reducing obesity, but could have a disproportionate and detrimental effect on the commercial broadcasters and the advertising sector. Commercial broadcasters, in particular niche children’s television channels, could potentially face substantial revenue losses." [3](http://www.fau.org.uk/html/industry_calling_for_a_respons.html)
The FAU makes the argument in several of their briefing that restructins are unnecesarry stating that "The available academic research does not support the frequently voiced view that food advertising is a significant cause of diet-related problems, for example obesity. The argument that food advertising leads to bad health is based on several assumptions that do not represent the reality of the way that advertising works or how parents and children make their food choices."
